The Ox Barn at Thyme

Can’t believe people saying the food is “decent”. In all honesty, we’ve had a tough time finding good food in the UK countryside (French & American travelers) - finding that spots reviewed as good are often tasteless/bland. Seeing this spot had 3.9 stars baffled me. Tuna nicoise salad 10/10, beet/goat cheese chickpea pancake 10/10, steak 10/10, iced tea (love a non sweet ice tea) 10/10, veggie vignole 8/10 - we’ve loved everything we’ve eaten. Perhaps we fit the taste profile, but we will be here everyday on our week long stay in Southrop. The ambiance is lovely!! Workers are lovely. And the architecture & flora reminds me of my moms home (south of France). Nostalgic. Comforting. Tasteful. Thoughtful. High end. The dog also loves it :)
